Extract Actions

Extract action items from meeting notes, including natural language action items that aren't in checkbox format.

Trigger Detection

Activate when user:

• Asks to extract actions from a meeting
• Wants to find action items in notes
• Needs to pull tasks from meeting discussions

Examples

• "Extract actions from today's standup"
• "What are the action items from the sprint planning meeting?"
• "Pull tasks from meetings/2026-01-03 Client Call.md"
• "Find action items in my last meeting"

Process

1. Identify Meeting Note

   • If path provided, use it directly
   • If not, search for recent meeting notes
   • Ask user to confirm which meeting

2. Delegate to Agent

   Task(
       subagent_type="action-extraction-agent",
       description="Extract action items from meeting",
       prompt="Extract all action items from [meeting path]. Include both checkbox tasks and natural language action items."
   )
   

3. Present Results

   • Show extracted actions with owners and due dates
   • Offer to create tasks in daily notes (optional)

4. Verify Agent Results

   • If agent reports success: Re-read the meeting note to verify actions were extracted
   • If blocked or failed: Inform user "Action extraction failed - please extract manually"
   • If succeeded: Only report success if extraction was verified
   • If not found: Alert user that actions may not have been extracted correctly
